Family farms have been the core of agriculture for thousands of years. They don’t produce more than the carrying capacity of the land and they understand the condition of the soil and its ability to sustain various crops from season to season. They commonly produce and save their own seeds, a practice that has helped small farms maintain the integrity of crops, and allow hardier, diverse strains of plants to prosper. Contrasting this, industrial farms use a few strains of high yielding crops, an approach that threatens genetic diversity and often leads to chemical dependency.
The meat, poultry, and dairy industries in factory farming are extremely harmful to human beings. They use hormones and other chemicals to maximize production and profit which can be a potential cause to unknown sufferings and deaths. Millions of Americans are infected each year and die from contaminated food products that the factory farming causes.
I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE
"At Poland Spring, we know that freshness and consistency go hand in hand. Our rigorous quality control standards help us make sure that you will enjoy the same crisp, delicious water every time you take a sip.
To maintain the purity of our water, we employ a comprehensive, multi-barrier filtration system that involves carefully controlled and continuously monitored disinfection processes in hygienically designed lines. We test our water when it comes into the plant and for consistency several times per hour at every stage of the bottling process. Every year, we screen for over 200 possible contaminants-far more than state and federal regulations require."-nuff said

I don’t think we should ban water bottles because it would drastically affect our economy. Our economy is already bad enough and banning water bottles won’t do anything besides make it worse. Bottled water is the single largest growth area among all beverages. As of December 2011, our unemployment rate was 8.5%. Banning water bottles would put millions of people under unemployment because of all the factories that would be shut down. Just 10 years ago the unemployment rate was 4.8%, so to ban water bottles at this point in time would be risky because we are already at a high rate of unemployment. I also believe that water bottles wouldn’t have as much of an effect if people didn’t abuse them. If we learn to reuse them and recycle them whenever possible, we could reduce the amount of plastic water bottles we use. As Americans we buy an average of 34.6 billion water bottles annually, but that number could be improved if we provide education about proper use. We don’t need to ban water bottles; we just need to regulate our use of them.
